The Capped Bust Half Dime was a silver coin minted by the United States from 1829 to 1837. Specifically, the 1805 designation refers to the earlier Draped Bust Half Dime, as the Capped Bust design did not exist yet in that year. The Capped Bust design features an image of Lady Liberty with a capped hairstyle on the obverse, while the reverse displays a traditional eagle motif with a wreath. The Half Dime, valued at five cents, was a key denomination in early American coinage and is sought after by collectors for its historical significance and aesthetic appeal.
